- 요약This dissertation examined the role of typology when learning a new third language (L3) with two previously acquired languages. Specifically, participants who knew both English and German were taught Swedish vocabulary in one session through a self-paced slide deck and then performed one perception and one production task. One group, including both L1 English and L1 German speakers, learned German-like words (e.g., the Swedish word spegel is similar to the German word Spiegel but different from the English word mirror), while another group, also L1 English and L1 German speakers, learned English-like words (Swedish kniv/English knife/German Messer), to see if the type of input they received affected their grammar in the L3. The study design isolated the lexicon as the independent variable, since Rothman (2015) put it at the top of the cue hierarchy of his Typological Primacy Model.Participants (N=63) judged if sentences demonstrating four grammatical properties seemed acceptable in a grammaticality judgment task (GJT) with items in German-like word order, English-like word order, and an ungrammatical order. The properties were possible verb-second sentences (V2), modal verbs with infinitives, negation with a definite object, and sentences with subordinate clauses. In addition to descriptive statistics, the data were analyzed using R (R Core Team, 2025), using a binomial logistic mixed regression model with the lme4 package (Bates et al., 2015). Although 3/4 groups accepted more input-like items, quantitative results showed that the differences between same-L1 groups were not statistically significant for any word order (for both groups, English-like: p=0.72, German-like: p=1, ungrammatical: p=1).An overall pattern emerged, where about 40% of participants accepted both, a third preferred the input-like word order, a quarter preferred the word order unlike their input, and two participants rejected both. In the sentence creation task, participants put sentences using the same four properties in whatever order seemed best, producing a similar overall pattern to the GJT results. When task results are combined, however, only 19.35% of participants showed evidence of mainly using the input-like grammar. While typology is an important factor in L3, results suggest it is not the crucial one.
